Player Discussion Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall

Tranquilo Naito said:
Kadri was 10 months older than Greig when he was drafted. If you look at their first 2 full seasons in junior, Greig was more productive.

Interesting.

Stuetzle = Matthew Barzal
Sanderson = Scott Niedermayer
Greig = Nazem Kadri
Jarventie = Patrik Laine
Kleven = Scott Stevens
Sokolov = Evgeni Malkin
Merilainen = Miikka Kiprusoff

Not a bad draft :sarcasm:

I haven’t seen Grieg play much but he really started piling up the points as the season moved along.

He's an Ottawa draft pick, you can almost assume that he was a riser, lol

the greig - kadri comparisons is the new jaros - subban comparisons

Who ever made that comparison? Never seen it

Also, didn't see a lot of people that were that high on him. 3rd pair guy, possible 2nd pairing

Come on man! A couple of those are totally unrealistic.

Greig = slightly bigger Marchand

And Sokolov is more like Ovechkin than Malkin.

And I think Kleven is tougher than Scott Stevens. I mean he's a full 4 inches taller!!

Yeah, I know sometimes I am a bit too conservative... I mean Scott Stevens was a total pansy. Kleven is going to punish people for real

Greig should be faster than Marchand and a bit more intense. It feels like sometimes Marchand takes shifts off.

Sokolov floor = Malkin (if goal scoring doesn't translate that well)
Sokolov expected potential = Ovechkin (but better playmaker and 2-way player, seriously)

Ovechkin actually started to play in the NHL at 20 y/o so I see similarities.

And Shea Weber - Kleven is the new Greig - Kadri. ANd round and round we go!! :sarcasm:

Seriously though, Greig is a lot closer to Kadri than Jaros ever was to Subban.

Lol I am Not a kleven guy lmao. Just trying to find some positive comparisons. Something. Anything for a guy that most seem to think is a 5th round pick

Kadri appears to have a lot more talent though. Say what you will about him but his A+ hands in junior were on display every night.

I agree. I also saw more of Kadri than I did of Grieg at that age, but love the fact that he is saying himself how he has been compared a lot with Kadri by others thus far in his career. Kadri comparisons are what he hears most about himself, and anywhere close to that level is jackpot at #28!

I am very happy with this and all three of the 2nd picks (including 7 Kleven who PD Mann traded up for so they see something more than most casual armchair scouts).

Kidding or? I haven't seen once somebody have that pretty random opinion

Kleven was 36th on BM's list, the one I consider the most (and probably like most people do)

Definitely he seems to be the guy that really separates nhl consensus lists and internet scouts. We shall see who prevails this round.

A simile uses as or like, eg. as brave as a lion.

That's a metaphor.

eg. This thread is a runaway train that has gone off the rails into a quagmire of linguistic ruminations. :D

Are we not talking about the post you quoted?


I read it like ..
1. A comparison using like or as
2... that's a metafore
3.... simile
4.............no a simile uses like or as....

I am really agreeing with the runaway train part now.

No I think he tried to out-sarcasm me but then I replied and totally out-sarcasm him!

I was literally laughing writing this :

Sokolov floor = Malkin (if goal scoring doesn't translate that well)

lol Malkin has a career 0.46 GPG (Goals per Game), scores on average 38 goals per 82 games.

Ovechkin has a career 0.61 GPG (Goals per Game), scores on average 50 goals per 82 games.
